I was watching the Wright Stuff this morning and one of the topics mentioned this morning fascinated me. David Michael Bruno's blog was where the heart of the topic rose from - the practise of decluttering, in simple terms - he decided to declutter his life, asking
'can we live with only 100 things?'
It really got me thinking - could I live with just a hundred things? I found myself silently compiling the list in my head as the debate unfolded. It has took a long day of thinking, forgetting, re-evaluating but here is my list. So in no particular order ladies and gentlemen....
